“I’m pleased to welcome Brooke to the Datto leadership team,” says Tim Weller, CEO of Datto. “She brings extensive experience in security and scaling businesses globally. Brooke has guided companies through various phases of growth – from product portfolio and brand expansion, international growth, partner ecosystem maturation, and operationalising for scale. We’re excited for the skills and leadership she will provide as Datto continues to grow and expand.” 

“There are three main reasons I decided to join Datto – values, purpose, and alignment to my strengths and passion for partners,” comments Cunningham. “The company’s core values, partner-first approach to business, and commitment to the MSP community and channel align very closely with the beliefs and outlook that have guided my career. Datto is primed for accelerating growth and I look forward to enabling the marketing team and our valued MSP ecosystem to be major contributors to the Company’s continued success.”

Cunningham is a graduate of Simon Fraser University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, with a dual focus in marketing and human resources.
